Is it true that we must slide OPEN the Touch Dual to insert into the car holder?

Just got that brodit carholder been deliverd.
Yeah your phone has to be slided open before you can put it in the holder. To bad, but otherwise it won't be stay on it's place in the holder.
The phone is not getting in very smooth the holder.
Thats bummer
I dont like that way
Any good alternative?

seems that the dual is pretty fussy about car mounts - that side mounted charging hole is obscured by most cradles, unless you slide it open, as above.
I bought a ten quid thing from Halfords (UK) that it kind of rests in, attached to one of my vents. It's by no means perfect, but it doesn't fall out either - and luckily it's the right height.
why did they change the position of it from the touch? perhaps my biggest niggle with this handset!!
Been looking on HTC's site, for Dual accessories
What about this one?

think I'll check out blueunplugged (UK site) too, where i got my GPS ariel from. Today the phone decided to try & throw itself out of my temporary arrangement.
I must get a mount soon!
Got the BRODIT today - its nice for me despite the phone only goes in with the open keyboard....

Got this BRODIT one: (looks nice and the keyboard out is the best solution when driving and making calls anyways)
848774 Passive holder
For an upright, open position.
http://www.brodit.dk/images/848774.jpg
And this Herbert Richter one: (nice can hold most phones/PDAS).

http://www.pdaplus.nl/catalog/richter-1580-swivelmount-pi-1600.html
http://www.pdaplus.nl/catalog/richter-universal-holder-small-pi-1471.html
The Herbert Richter kan the Dual be open og closed - nice and a bit cheaper solution.
www.pdaplus.nl
It took only 3 days to arrive from The Netherlands to Denmark - a total under 28 Euro for the Richter solution.
The Brodit I got from Denmark 55 Euros.
I´m trying them both out - mounted them on my BRODIT ProClip with the BRODIT Move Clip thing on it.

I´m gonna stick with the Herbert Richter setup, where I have the possibillity to have the handset open or closed.
I now have one BRODIT passive HTC Touch Dual holder for sale..... 2-3 days old.
O2 shops in the UK stock an OK cradle, with a hole in the right place, so to speak - well ok the TD doesn't sit totally in it (with the charging cable in I mean), but it fits nice & snug. It does dance around a bit, and rattle, so I adjusted the gooseneck thing so that the dashboard stops it from moving. am pretty satisfied now at last!
20 quid though, but I could at least check it out in the shop

Thanks for this post. Am considering getting a couple of these. Just curious if anyone has one and if it'll work without taking the phone out of the case. I guess I'm lazy. ;-)
I've got one arriving in Australia tomorrow hopefully. I can't see it working with the leather case on though... sorry.

They work with the keyboard attached to the bottom, or not, but you need to take out of the case sorry.

Hi,
That one looks really nice !!!
I was interested on this one:
http://www.expansys.es/p.aspx?i=146664
but when I was going to buy it, I found this one:
http://www.expansys.es/p.aspx?i=149396&asource=146303
I like it because I could connect the Athena to car power directly, not taking care of the cable.
The one you are showing now is very similar too (but without the cable....).
Could be great to have them all and test them for few days ......
Best regards,
Alberto

The brodit Proclip is already available with a charging cable. Have to be careful "active" to proclip usually means it has an amp and speakers in it.

Not sure - looks like it might be a good solution but suction mount to dashboard? Never had much luck with them.
I always wondered why people raved about Brodit mounts (as they aren't cheap) until I bought one for my Universal. They are very well made and I think I'm going to have to get one for my Athena!
I use the HR holder and tower mount which sucks on to the windscreen, the ones that go on the dash are not too good as you need to stick down a self adhesive disk (supplied) but it won't come off without damaging your dashboard.
Alternatively I can use the HR holder with the excellent Brodit Pro Clip I have in the car, this provides the best solution, although you cannot clip on the keyboard. To be honest I wouldn't use the keyboard in the car anyway. - Mike

I got my device holder today from Proclipusa. It is real nice. Works great with the keyboard or without keyboard. Keyboard is securely held on. Buttons on front and side are easy to use, usb and sound ports are easy to get to. Looks much better than my wood prototype holder. $34.95 USD.
Ordered a charging cradle for the Advantage from proclipsusa.com order shows it has shipped hopefully will be here by the end of week
Apperantly they got them in stock earlier than expected.
Hello!
Anybody use Xperia in car as Navi or Handsfree system? Do u ppl use any carholder/mount?
I saw http://www.brodit.com/. Looks nice and you can use it in landscape mode.
For now it's the best looking carholder I found online. Maybe someone has one to share opinion about it?
I use pro clips, which is definitely one of the best ones out there in my opinion.
www.proclipusa.com
ive got the brodit one by ebay and its pretty cool!
looks a little bit bulky but the ex1 fits perfectly in it.
landscape mode worx well too but u wont be able to tyle anything with it while u drive anyway.
There is a cheap custom fit holder for the X1 on ebay, which fits the phone perfectly. It's cheap, too.
I use the brodit. works pretty nicely. Has a snug feel to it. I'm using that with the car charger, so when the keyboard is open the usb is pointing down so its perfect.
Don't have one yet, but always tend to go with Brodit, good quality products.
Finally! A car mount that is EXACTLY what I envisioned:
http://www.netimes.com/shop/car-mount-holders-for-sonyericsson-xperia-x1-p-1582.html?currency=USD
Might be cheap, but I will soon find out. Ordered, but with the slow shipping method. The same company also sells it on ebay. There are clones of it as well.
My main concern with any of these is that they will wear the finish. What do the users of these car mounts have to say about wear on the X1's finish?

With the one I'm using (which btw seems to be the same one JKingDev mentioned) it's no problem at all, as the phone sits firmly in the holder and has no room to shake around in it. Therefore it is very unlikely to scratch or wear the phone's finish.

Really? Glad to hear that it works well. Where did you order yours from? Did it ship from Hong Kong?
I ordered it from Honkong via ebay (see my first post in this thread) and got it here to Switzerland whithing 5 days. Pretty happy, I am changing the arm for a rigid one though, as these flexible ones vibrate to much.

Here we have in stock mounts mentioned by JKingDev but personally I don't like anything on my front window.

Keep in mind though, the one I linked looks like it uses the herbert richter mount system. You dont have to use the windshield mount. You can attach the device holder to other kinds of mounts.
I like the one from netimes.com very much but they only accept paypal payment which is not supported here in egypt does anybody know if there is some other vendor that supports plain visa payments ....thnx in advance

Originally I wanted to get one of those, but then I realized, they won't be of any use in landscape mode.

Btw, you're right, it uses a standard herbert richter mount system.

Hi JKingDev, you received yr mount yet? How's it and can it hold the X1 firmly in both portrait and landscape (and w/ keypad open) ?
The pic does not show any angled "edge" on clip which I am afraid X1 will accidentally fall out.

I have not received it yet. It is coming from Hong Kong and I did not expedite the shipping. It left HK on the 14th. jsmithe seems to have the same one though and he said it does hold it firmly. I will report back when I get mine. I cant wait.
I see what you mean by an angled edge. It is probably there just very tiny. It shouldnt take much to do the job.

I'm looking for VENT (!!!) car mount for T-Mobile HD2. It has to be:
- swivel
- not PERMANENTLY attached, glued, etc
- low profile
- cheap (China/HK on eBay are fine)
- preferably allow me to use HD2 with low profile hard shell on it
- fits T-Mobile
I'm NOT looking for:
- suction mounts of any kind
- big ugly mounts with sticking out jaws ... they are scary
- fitted vent mounts for HD2 and not T-Mobile version
I know about Brodit/Richet ... but come on, they cost a fortune - cheap knock off is fine. For me
Would love a vent mount for the TMobile HD2 so I can mount it in my 2007 Silverado! I'll keep searching, and you keep us posted if you find anything!
I found one at Target - I cannot remember the brand, but it was advertised for the iPhone, wiht adjustable padded arms... $20
I bought this scoche mount have had it a week, and fully happy with it. Arms are adjustable to be taller if needed and it swivels. cost 19.99 @ frys electronics, or 24.99 with vent and windsheild mount. There is also a 9.99 model with no swivel. Hope this helps. http://www.scosche.com/products/sfID1/337/sfID2/364/sfID3/344/productID/1594
I'm looking for something like this. There are items for HTC HD2, but not for T-Mobile version

Sorry...I do not think you are going to find one specifically made to fit the TmoUS version unless you go with proclip (but its a permenant mount)
I ended up settling on this and it works pretty well...I too was worried that with the phone as thin as it is that the "jaws" would be huge...but its really not that bad at all. The holder is steady and does not wobble like the flexable goosneck style ones. It comes with both the windsheild mount and a vent mount...so you can use it either way.
I guess it works better because I can use it for my HD2, iphone, or Nexus One without having to do anything to it.

Buy some Kydex. You can use the same templet to lay it out. Heat the Kydex with a heat gun and mold it to the phone.
Go to knifekits dot com. they have the cheapest prices, and ship fast.
I have to recommend ProClip as well for this, even though it is the more expensive route. I'm sure you know the saying "You get what you pay for".
I've been using this company's holders for my past three devices. As I upgrade my device all that is needed is the specific holder for each new device, I already purchased the swivel and the mount. It is by far the best device holder I've used and I've gone through my fair share before finally doing it right. It is extremely solid and are made specifically for the vehicle you drive. I also purchased the desktop cradle. So from leaving my car I slide it out of the holder in my vehicle then slide it in to the cradle on my desk, very convenient.

Thanks for the pics. No doubt this is good quality, sure fit and all. But car mount + swivel holder + shipping is approx. $75 for my setup which I find kinda expensive for just VENT mount
i sanded the metal with some sand paper and its pretty smooth on the edges i made another one for a friend for his car same phone and he has his vertical and i am keep mine horizontal

Sorry I havent tried...
brackets
check www.bracketron.com. I have a universal usb power dock for my HD2 and love it. They have all kinds of different products that can fit any phone. The one I have plugs into the cig lighter adapter, has a usb plug for the phone + another universal lighter port on it. Full flex & pivot. Prices seem to be between $20 & $30.
Thanks. Yes, I did find bracketon during my search. The only problem is that for HD2 they have universal adapter with all those huge jaws I wanted to avoid Otherwise it will be OK. Too bad they dont have anything low profile.
They look bigger on the website, only extend about 1/2 in above the screen with the HD2 in it. I like that the 'jaws' have foam pads, so you can cramp the hell out of the phone w/ no worries of scratching, holds no matter what case or battery back you have. I had a 'sleek' one for my TP2, but it would push the invisible shield off of the sides when I put the phone in.
Hi,
What kind of car mount do you use? And where did you buy it?
If possible, put a photo of it
Thanks.
i'm just using a Generic car mount for PDA from DealExtreme
I bought this universal dock on eBay and LOVE it. It mounts to your CD player in your dash instead of on the top of the dash or windshield.

just using those 4 little wings to insert inside, i don't think those will hold.
i'll like that car mount, if they had an Air Vent clip for it
I'm thinking about getting this: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/universal-silicone-car-mount-for-all-gps-33213
Anyone have any experiences with silicone grip mat products like this one?

nice concept, but it will not work on mine, since my CD player slot is hidden

No it wont pop out, its 'wings' splay up and down and grip to the inside of the cd player mounting judging by the video
Arkon SM428
I bought an Arkon SM428 on Amazon.com for my Vibrant, but works just as well for the NS I just got Vibrant got smashed in car door . Dirt cheap too. Don't let the screws in the picture scare you, only necessary if you don't have a flat enough surface for the doublestick foam tape, which holds tight. Easy to rotate 90 degrees when needed.

Bought it from seller "GPS Cheap"
Hope you find this useful.
I got this from best buy, I mounted it in thespace that holds all my crap near my shifter

Here's some pictures I took.
https://picasaweb.google.com/nXtIak/CDPhoneMount?feat=directlink
2004 Mazda 3i.
The bottom part is removable, have to remove it to be able to plug in a charger, since it's very very close to the bracket. Mount holds the phone fine with the sides.
I'm not sure how I'm going to use the mount. Installed up or down, been trying both.
You can only swivel the mount updown/left/right just a little bit, so I'm sure in certain cars you won't get a great view of your phone.
The mount does shake a little bit while driving. Tightening the cd slot screw does not help.
Overall, I like it.

The CD slot one is great. Really good quality, plus I like it mounted there a lot better than on top of the dash or the windshield. I have been using it for a couple months now and I still love it.
Plus it is very easy to remove to put a CD in if you want to use a CD, then you can replace the phone holder and the CD will still play fine.
If you're willing to wait, dunno when, Kidigi is planning to release some car mounts. They look nice, but expensive as usual. About the same price as the HTC car mount for the Nexus One. Just google Kidigi and visit their online store.
Wow, for a passive holder, this is amazing:

Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App

Try this I have been using them for the last two years with the many phones I have had and all mounts are amazing. They work really well and are made for your vehicle and phone in mind, for a total of 84.95 for the entire kit.
I actually found this while wondering around BestBuy, which means Im sure you can find it for 50% less then I paid for it there. :º)
Although our phone is not listed as compatible, it actually fits it like a glove, even in my thin case.

Im not a fan of the extension arm, it feels as cheap as it looks. The dash mount works perfectly for me in my Subaru.
Best part of all is that not of the plugs or camera are blocked.

without a case, will this fit also? meaning will it be too loose without case?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK9AOd51q6o
from this video, it looks like it barely fits an iphone4 with the case fully extended... our nexus s is larger than iphone4...
Yes, "car holder" is probably not the right name for it, but I assume most of you know what I mean ;-)
I'm searching the original "thing" called SCS-410 including a charger. I can't find it in German stores in stock. Does one of you have a dealer with international shipping which has this thing in stock?
Here's a picture of the "thing" ;-)

Can't you order it from amazon? I think they deliver it globally. It's fantastic. I have it since Friday. Don't want to miss it anymore!
I can't recommend this hardware. The suction cup and holder are ok, but the swivel head is the weak point. It jiggles so much, it is hard to read the display.
Had to sent it back and ordered a holder from Hongkong for half the price.

Thanks for confirming this! I thought I have a problem but seems this is the main flaw of this holder - I believie this is because phone itself is little bit heavy...

I can't confirm this. You need to screw down tight the head. For me this holder fits perfectly to my needs.

are you saying the head with the phone inside is stable and not bouncing while driving?
My holder is fine while driving

Same for me. It is holding perfectly and I can read all the information Navigon shows. Btw. it is 10 Euros cheaper than my older Nokia car holder was.
Works great for me and I'm not sure if most universal mounts have this but this is one has the magnet to automatically switch to the car launcher.

Exactly.
The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.

I did so, if I screwed it tighter, the ring would've been broken. Seems as if there are two different charges/versions on the market.
The HK source is "rpas_group" on ebay.
hi all ,
i want buy it but on Official Lg shop is out of stock .
I will try on the ebay or ??
I bought this holder just the other week and find it quite ingenious, well, as ingenious as a phone-holder for the car can get. There is a baseplate for mounting it on the car dashboard and the standard suction cup for the window. It can be rotated and tilted, but I guess that is pretty much standard.
I do have to say though, even when fastened very tight the phone does jiggle a bit, it is solid though and won't fall off. No problem reading what the satnav tells me, but it does jiggle a bit.
